Inns Are Important
Some people like to think that inns are a waste of time. Who needs rest when there’s adventures to be had? As long as you have potions, some solid healing spells, and a strong party, you’re fine, right? Wrong. The inns in Dark Arisen are so much more than just a place to rest your head, and you’ll need to remember that constantly.
For starters, they do provide a place to rest and heal. When you take damage, there is a portion of your health bar that will not return without either leveling up or resting. That portion can grow to a ridiculous size, often leaving you with less than a fifth of your health bar usable, so rest whenever you get the chance. After you rest, it’s time to get your character sorted out.
You may notice while leveling up that you don’t earn any skills in your character menu. It turns out that you earn points that can be used to purchase and assign skills at the, you guessed it, inns located in the world. You can also change your Vocation (just in case you feel you’ve chosen the wrong one), sort your stored and carried items, and just shoot the breeze.
There is also a very important mechanic for your Pawn at inns as well. Remember that one Pawn you created just for you? Well, that Pawn can be used by other players online, and resting at an inn updates your Pawn’s stats for the servers. Why is this important? Well better stats means a higher chance of getting hired, and that means more chances at getting some very useful items and gear. Inns are great, aren’t they?
